| Detailed Description |
The hotfix (MS08-041, 955617) for 'Vulnerability in the ActiveX Control for the Snapshot Viewer for Microsoft Access' has not been applied. Microsoft Snapshot Viewer is a viewer for snapshots created with Microsoft Access. Snapshot Viewer is available as an ActiveX control, which is provided by snapview.ocx, or as a stand-alone application. The Microsoft Office Snapshot Viewer ActiveX control contains a race condition, which can allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to download arbitrary files to arbitrary locations. By convincing a victim to view an HTML document (web page, HTML email, or email attachment), a remote attacker could download files and execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable system within the security context of the user running IE.
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of these condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
